Indications for Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Wanner, partly cloudy weather; occasional rain; southeasterly winds; generally lower pressure. The Elections. Returns from nearly nil the StateB which held elections yesterday are presented on this page, classified so as to be convenient to the reader. Among the salient points are the election of the Republican State ticket in New York by a majority of 15,000 or upward, with a gain of six Congressmen ; the Republican majority of about 15,000 In Pennsylvania; the signal defeat of Ben Butler in Massachusetts; the Republican victories in New Hampshire and Connecticut; the somersault in New Jersey; Republican gains in Congressmen in Illinois and Maryland; the apparent solidity of the South for the Democrats, cutting off several Republican Congressmen; the probable Republican loss in Missouri, etc. The returns on Congressmen are full enough to justify an attempt at tabulation, though a number of corrections will have to be made in the future. In the table below doubtful points are generally conceded to the Democrats, and they are generally giveu the benefit of counting successful Greenbackers. Under the head of the 46th Congress, the figures for Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Nevada are not taken from the returns, which are not full enough to base figures upon; but it is assumed, merely for the purpose of completing the compilation, that they have gone as they did two years ago. The com plete returns will undoubtedly 'make a better Republican showing. California does not elect till next September. Vermont yesterday elected one member (a greenback Republican), there having been no election at the first effort. Following is the table : XLVth XLVIth states. Kg-Compress. Conobess, I Rep.

An idle team may be wintered upon good hay alone; when working lightly a feed of grain at noon will be sufficient, with hay morning and night. With heavy work, ten quarts of ground corn and oata, and chaffed straw or cornfodder, will be good feeding, and in many cases, for small horBea, less will do". Good grooming is necessary for health in winter. Ground gypsum spread upon the floors will prevent the pungent odor common to stables. This vapor of ammonia is hurtful to horses' eyes, "and the frequent cuuse of ophthalmia, and resulting in blindness, witii which so manv horses are troubled. Throw a few pailsful of water upon the floor first, and then scatter around a shovelful of the gypsum. Fresh air should enter the stables at the bottom and the foul air escape at the top. Make small sliding doors for ventilation, and cover them with wire netting or laths, to exclude vermin, Agriculliirvit. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATU JOURNAL. THE ELECTIONS.

Total vote tor governor: Talbot, uuuer iuo,- 066; Abbott 9490; Miner, 1816. The re maining towns to be heard from will in crease Talbot's majority over Butler to an excess of 25,000. Albany, Nov. 6. Democrats, on a basis of 1876 vote, estimate Bradley's election by plurality. They concede the Assembly to the Republicans by a good working majority, and a majority of the Congressional delegation to the same party. The irioune says returns on tne etaie ticket are comparatively incomplete, but' one hundred and thirty-seven towns have been heard from, which last year gave a Republican majority of 5564, and this year increase it to 11,648. A similar gain throughout the State would elect Mr. Danforth by from 15,000 to 20,000. The World says: Returns from the State on Court of Appeals Judge come in very slowly. More attention appears to have been given to local candidates than the State ticket. The figures received, however, indicate that George B. Bradley, Democrat, is elected Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, by from 5000 to 10,-000 majority. MnssacliusettH. Bobton, Nov. 5. The Journal says the Republican State Central Committee have received returns which indicate that Butler is defeated by at least 40,000, and says the re-election ot B. W. Harris in the second district by a large majority is assured. The following is the vote of some of the principal cities: Lowell Talbot, 3773; Butler, 4230. Lynn Talbot, 2233; Butler, 3371. Chelsea Talbot, 1895; Butler, 1219. Taunton Talbot, 1934; Butler, 1423. New Bedford Talbot, 2191; Butler, 1349. Lawrence Talbot, 1950; Butler, 2634. Worcester Talbot, 4352; Butler, 3785. Selwyn Z. Bowman, Republican, is elected in the Fifth Congressional district (Banks's old district) by probably 2000 majority over Nathan Clark (Butler Green-backer),Butler has no doubt carried the city by a large plurality. The election of Leopold Morse to congress irom tnerourtn uis-trict is now conceded. Talbot's election by a plurality of 20,000 is now conceded. W. A. Field, Republican, is said to be elected to Congress from the Third district by 300 majority. The vote of Boston in detail is as follows: Talbot, 20,762; Butler, 25,214; Abbott, 1003;-Miner, 148; Butler's majority, 4452. Claflin, Republican, is probably re-elected to Congress from the Eighth district. W. W. Crapo, Republican, is probably re-elected to Congress from the First district. B. W. Harris, Republican, is re-elected to Congress from the Second district by a large majority. A Worcester special says W. W. Rice, Republican, carries the Ninth Congressional district by probably 3000 majority.Two hundred and eight towns in Massachusetts, including all the cities, give Talbot 16,949 majority over Butler. At 9 p. m. Talbot's election by 30,000 plurality is conceded by Butler's friends. All Republican Representatives to Congress from the eleven, districts, with the exception ol tho Fourth, where Briiieuita-is defeated by Morse, Democrat, are undoubtedly elected as far as present returns indicate. The vote of 223 towns give Talbot's majority over Butler 19,481. The following is the footing of Congressional districts of the State so far as received: First district, all but eleven towns Talbot, 10,488; Butler, 0903; Abbott, 7388; Miner, 215. Congressman Crapi, Republican, 10,745; Ellis, Democrat, 0758; French, Prohibition, 146. Second district, all but two towns Talbot, 13,982; Butler, 9108; Abbott, 864; Miner, 729. Congressman Harris, Republican, 11,723; Avery, Democrat, 3011; Dean, Greenback, 4438; Lathrop, Prohibition, 1280. Fifth district, one precinct wanting Talbot, 13,436; Butler, 12,400; Abbott, 827; Miner. 159. Congressman Bowman. Re publican, 15,213; Clark, Democrat and Greenback, 10,530; scattering, 12. All Republican candidates for State offices are elected. Illinois. Chicago, Nov. 5. Five distinct tickets are in the field in this city, and ballots are consequently badly scratched and coming in very slowly. The Republican, Democratic, Greenback, National Socialist and Prohibition parties have each nominated tickets. Up to 9:30 but five precincts out of one hundred and twelve have been heard from, and these indicate nothing. From Fort's, Henderson's and Springer's dis tricts it would seem that those gentlemen are re-elected. Returns received here from forty-nine towns and precincts in Illinois, show the follewing vote on Stute Treasurer: Gen. J. C. Smith, Republican, 6223; E. N. Cronkrite, Democrat, 3571; E. N. Bates, Greenbaeker, 1212. The vote on Congressmen will vary but a trifle from these figures. In this city returns from nine precincts give Hoftuian, Republican, for Sheriff, 1013; Kern, Democrat, for Sheriff, 935; Gen. Mann, for Coroner, runs far ahead of his ticket. 11 P. M. At this hour indications are that the Republicans have carried the entire county ticket and elected their three Congressmen in the city a gain of one Congressman. Returns generally show Republican gains. In eighteen precincts Kern, for Sheriff, has 1811, and Hoffman 2217. In the First Congressional district, threeprecincts give Aldrich, Republican, 331; Doolittle, Democrat, 96. In the Second district, nine precincts give Davis, Republican, 1468; Kahoe, Democrat, 1067. In the Third district, five precincts give Barber, Republican, 749; Free, Democrat, 545. Returns from one hundred und ten towns and precincts in Illinois give the following totals: For State Treasurer Smith, Republican, 15,986; Cronkrite, Democrat, 8329; Bates, Greenbaeker, 3459. The Congressional vote continues in about the same proportion. Midnight Returns from Congressional districts in this State, although incomplete, seem to show the Republicans have gained two Representatives, namely Davis, in the Second district, and Thomas in the Eighteenth. If these figures hold good, the Congressional delegation from Illinois in the next Congress will stand Republicans 13, Democrats 6. Thomas and Davis replace Hartzel and Harrison, present members. Latest One hundred and eighty towns in the State give Smith 23,958; Conkrite, 13,238; Bates, 5037. No indications yet as to the Legislature except that it will be very close, with probabilities of a few Republican gains. Chicago, Nov. 6. 1 a. m. At this hour returns show the following for Congress: First diBtrict Aldrich, Republican, 2000; Doolittle, Democrat, ; J441. Second district Davis, Republican, 5568; Kehoe, Democrat, 2678. Third district-Barber, Republican, 1701; Free, Democrat, 1290. The Greenback, Socialist and Prohibition tickets had a very meagre following. The vote from 55 out of 112 precincts in the county shows Hoffman, 7646; Kerr, 6657. 1:30 A. M. Two hundred and sixty-seven towns and precincts in Illinois give Smith 35,566, Cronkrite 20,989, Bates 8594. Michigan. Detroit, Nov. 6. Returns from one hundred and thirty-seven towns give Cros-well, Republican, for Governor, 17,716; Burnes, Democrat, 9205; Smith, National, 1182. Midnight Returns from 177 towns give crossweii, Kepuuiiean, tor Governor, 648; Barnes, Democrat, 13,241; Smith, National, 14,490. Latest Twenty towns of the Second dis trict give Willetts, Republican, for Con gress, 344i; cam, democrat, 2,070; Thomas, National, 1659.

In this city and county,.so far as heard from, the vote for Sheriff is as follows: Cartz, Republican, 3267; Nicholson, Democrat, 2453; Borgman, National, 1417. The defent of Lander, Democrat, for Register of Deeds is conceded. Detroit, Nov. 6 3 a.m. In the First Congressional district Newberry, Republican, is undoubtedly elected.

Forty-one towns and wards in the Third district, McGown, Republican, for Congress, 5517; Upton, Democrat, 2311; Dawson, National, 5174.'

At the Mayor's office it is estimated the Republican ma jority in Philadelphia for the State ticket will be about 12,000. Kelley has been badly cut in the Fourth district. No doubts are entertained of Randall's election In the Third district. Wilkesbarke, Nov. 5. In the Twelfth district Hendrick B.Wright is undoubtedly re-elected to Congress. Reading, Nov. 5. In the Eighth district Heister Clymer, Democrat, isre-elected by over 5000 majority. The Democratic State Committee concede the election of Hoyt, Republican, for uovernor, uy iu,uuu majority. lneitepuD-Hcan Committee claim it by 25,000. In the Sixth Congressional district Win.

Harmer, Republican, is elected by a majority of 4542. In the Tenth Congressional district R. K, Baehmann, Democrat, is elected. In the Seventh district William Godsehalk, Republican, is elected by about 1000 majority. I'lTTSBURG, jnov. o. The election in the western part of the State to-day was conducted very quietly, and a full vote polled by all parties. Scattering reports show extensive Republican gains. The Greenback vote iu this vicinity falls far short of expectation a vigorous canvass of five months among the workingmen of this city having failed to elect their Congressmen. Partial returns from 16 Western counties give a Republican majority of 6858 on the State ticket. The Republicans re-elect Errett in the Twenty-second and Bayne in the Twenty-third Gongressional districts, and claim Allegheny county for the State ticket by 7000 majority. Sallen- berger, Republican, is elected to Congress in the Twenty-fifth and Osmer, Republican, in the Twenty-seventh district. Pottsville, Nov. 6. Jno. W. Ryon, Democrat, is elected probably in the Thir teenth district. Vii-tfhilu. Richmond, Nov. 5. Election quiet, vote small, In this city only about 3000 polled out of a registered vote of over 13,- 000. The smallness of the vote is due mainly to the fact that a payment of cap itation tax was required betoro votum. General Joseph E, Johnston carried the city by over 2000 majority. Returns from a number of precincts of this district indicate Johnston's election beyond doubt. ALEXANDRIA, .Nov.- Election Here very quiet; no interest manifested, and the vote not half out. Hunton, for Con gress, had no organized opposition; bis majority here is 6iV. Garter, Greenbaeker, received but 214 votes, and Cochran, Republican, but 3. Hunton's election is sure. Norfolk, Nov. 5. Election quiet, vote small. Indications of Goode's re-election to Congress by 1000 majority. Richmond, Nov.5. further returns from the counties of this district indicate Johnston's majority to be 1600 to 1800. Meagre returns from the First district indicate the election of R. L. T. Bale, Conservative, over Critchcr, Independent. In the Second district the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth and Norfolk county give Desendorf, Republican, about 150 majority over Goode, Conservative, but returns from other points indicate Goodo's election by a fair majority. Returns from the Fourth district are also too meagre to base calculations. The contest is between Jorgensen, Republican, nnd E. W. Hinton, with chances in favor of Jorgensen. The Fifth district re-elects George C. Cabell, Conservative. In tho Sixth district J. Randolph Tucker is elected. It is an exciting contest in the Seventh district between John T. Harris and John Paul, forcible re-adjuster of the State debt. Returns from over half the district favor Harris's election. General Eppa Hunton is elected in tho Eighth district without opposition. Nothing definite from the Ninth district, where there are four candidates. Petersburg, Nov. 5, Returns from the Fourth district indicate the re-election of Jorgensen, Republican, to Congress. Richmond, Nov. 5. Only a few returns from the Ninth district, but those received indicate aclosc contest between Richmond, Conservative, nnd McMillen, Independent Conservative. Three hundred towns and precincts heard from. Crosswell, 39,342; Barnes, 23,-894 ; Smith, 24,729. Tennesnec. Nashville, Nov. 5. The election here was unusually quiet, and but little apparent interest. Indications arc that the vote will be the lightest polled in the State for years. Chattanooga, Nov. G. Returns indicate the election of Pittebone, Republican, in tiic First, and Dibrell, Democrat, in the Third district of Tennessee. Very close in the Second district. Houk, Republican, ahead. The latest returns from the First district of Tennessee indicate the election of lay- lor, Democrat, over Pettibone, Republican, by 1500 majority; Watkins, Independent, of the Second district, is pushing Bouk, Republican, closely. Nashville, Nov. 6. The election was quiet all over the State, and the vote un-precedentedly light. The entire.Dcmocratic ticket of this county is elected. The Greenbackers received the majority of the colored votes in the county. House, Bright, Dibrell and others are re-elected to Congress. In the Ninth Congressional district Lemonton, Democrat, is elected. Hauck, Republican, is elected in the Second district, and in the First district the Republicans concede the election of R. L. Taylor, Democrat, over Pettibone, Republican. In the Fourth district, McMillan, Democrat, is probably elected over Galli-day, Independent. In the Seventh district the vote is close between Whitthorne and Moore, both Democrats. The returns in dicate the re-election of Whitthorne. The Legislature is very largely Democratic. Murks, Democratic nominee tor uovernor, has a majority over both the Greenback ,nd Republican candidates. KNOXVILLE, JN OV. O. JUlUnigllt te- turns Bhow Taylor, Democrat, in the First district, elected over Pettibone, Republican; Houk, Republican, over Watkins, Independent, in the Second district. WiNconaiu. Milwaukee, Nov. 511 p. m. Milwaukee city and county, with one town ship to be heard from, give Frisby, Republican, in the Fourth district for Congress, 1200 majority over Denster, Democrat; Republican gain of 3500 over the vote of 1876. Republicans elect the whole county ticket, with the possible exception of coroner. Returns trom the interior come in slowly; gains and losses about equally divided. 12 m. The Fourth Congressional district, twenty-one towns and the city of Milwaukee, Republican gain of 3070. Frisby, Republican, majority in Milwaukee county 1600. He is probably elected.

Seventh flisli-ift. th ty-tive towns, Democratic gain Democratic gain of 70. This comparison is made with the Presidential vote of 1870. 12:45 A. M. Returns received up to this hour indicate the following result on Congressmen: First district, Williams, Republican, re-elected by slightly decreased majority; uistriei, uassweu, nepuoii-ean, re-elected by increased majority; 3d and 4th districts in doubt; 5th district, Bragg, Democrat, re-elected by diminished majority: 6th district, Bouck, Democrat, re-elected by increased mujority; 7th district, Humphrey, Republican, re-elected; 8th district, Pound, Republican, re-elected by increased majority. The Republicans gain 12 Assemblymen and two Senators, and will have a good majority on joint ballot, Milwaukee county elects the entire Republican ticket for the first time. LoulNinnn. New Orleans, Nov. 5. The election in the city and throughout the State, as far as heard from, passed otf quietly. The majority of A. E. Burke, for State Treasurer, in New Orleans is estimated at 18,000. His majority in the State, it iB believed, will exceed 30,000. Returns, as far as received, in iW cute the - emotion o-f Congressmen as roliows; r irat oisinei, uiusuu, uemuurm: Second. Ellis, Democrat: Third. Acklin. Democrat; Fourth, Elam, Democrat; Sixth, Robertson, Democrat. The Democratic State Central Committee have reports that colored voters were supporting King and Young in the Fifth district to such an extent as to indicate strong probability of their election. The colored people appear o have voted in large numbers for Burke and Democratic Congressmen, and some enthusiastic Democrats to-night estimate Burke's majority in the State as high as 50,000. The amount of scratching on election for municipal officers renders it im possible to make a close estimate of the result nt this hour, 11 p. in., but the following is given as approximating: Democratic Conservatie ticket, 13,1)00; Citizens' Consevative, 10,000; Nationals, 5000; Tax payers, 1000. New Orleans, Nov. 5 Midnight The Nationals and Republicans claim the election of Hebert for Congress in the Third district over Acklen. The Democrats claim three-fourths of the Legislature. Specials to the Democrat from eleven parishes outside of New Orleans, show 12,000 Democratic gains. The Democrat claims the election of the entire Congressional delegation. TXexv Hninnwliire. Boston, Nov. C. New Hampshire specials from Republican sources state thut Head, the Republican candidate for Governor, is making handsome gains, with a decreased Greenback vote. A Concord, N. H., special says the Republican State Committee claim the Republicans have carried every Congressional district, and that the Republicans have a good majority in both branches of the Legislature. Concord, Nov. 5. From returns it appears Head is elected by the people, and it is probable Republican Congressmen are elected in the three districts. As far as returned the House stands 52 Republicans, 37 Democrats nnd three Greenbacks. Republicans claim they shall have at least 35 majority in the Houbc Returns from 150 towns indicate the election of Head for Governor by 1000 majority. As returned, the House stands 89 Republicrns, 60 Democrats and 6 Greenbackers. Republicans claim they have from 25 to 30 majority. Congressional districts have not been returned sulliciently full to give definite majorities, but it is probable the Republicans have carried three districts by strong pluralities, electing Hall in the First, Briggs in the Second and Farr in the Third. The Republicans have doubtless fourteen Senatorial districts, the Democrats eight and two doubtful. Georgia. Augusta, Nov. 5. The vote in the Eighth district is light. Alexander H. Stephens is re-elected to Congress without opposition. Returns from Congressional districts come in slowly. Followine is the prob able result in the State: First district, Nicholls; Second, Smith; Third, Cook; 1'ourth, Harris; Jjifth, Hammond; Sixth, Blount; Seventh, Felton; Eeighth, Stephens; Ninth, Billups. The official count may change this in the Seventh and Ninth districts. The vote in these districts will be close, and may result in the election of Lester,Democratic nominee in the Seventh, in place of Felton, Independent Democrat. Speer, Independent Democrat, will run Bellups very close in the Ninth. Columbus, Nov. 5. Returns indicate that Persons, Democrat, is elected In Con gress over Harris, present member, by 500 to 1000 majority. Both Democrats; Persons is inclined to the Greenbackers. Folton m the Seventh Georgia district, is running behind. Lester, Democrat, probably elected by a small majority. Macon, Nov. 5. Blount ia unanimously re-elected from the Sixth Congressional district no opposition. Vote light. The race in the lower end of the Fifth is very close, between Hammond, Democrat, and liarrold, Greenbaeker. Cook, Third district, and Smith, Second district, arc reelected. Missouri. St. Louis, Nov. 5. Partial returns of this city indicate something more than half of the Republican ticket elected. The contest in both the Second and Third Coneressional districts seems to be closer than was expected, and the result cannot be loreseen at the present writing. The result in the First district cannot be given to-pight, as several counties outside the city form a part of that district, and they cannot be heard from. There seems to be no doubt of the elec tion of Frost, Democrat, in the Third dis trict, over Metcalfe, Republican, present liiL-uiiiueiii. iu me oeconu uistriei, ooie, Republican, is so close to Wells, Democrat, that the Republicans are claiming his election. Returns from the Third district are very meagre, but there is no doubt of the election of Clardy, Democrat. If Wells carries the Second district, the Democrats will gain three Congressmen from this city. St. Louis, Nov. 6. There is no longer any doubt about the Second district, this city. Wells, Democrat, is elected by perhaps 1500. Likely Frost, Democrat, in the Third district, wifl get fully as much. The Greenbuek vote has not cut much of a figure in either district. The reault on the city ticket not yet determined. A St. Joseph dispatch says specials from d liferent counties of the Ninth district indicate that Ford, Greenbaeker, has overcome the former Democratic majority of the district, and that he is probably elected. Minnesota. St. Paul, Nov. 6. The election proceeded quietly, but with a full vote in the city, and much scratching on Congress men. Scattering returns received indicate the Greenback vote insignificant on the State ticket. Returns on Congressman in the Third district indicate Washburn, Re publican, largely ahead of the State ticket in Minneapolis; slightly behind in St. Paul and in out counties. If elected it is by a reduced majority from 1876. St. Paul, Nov. 5.--Ramsey county gives about 2,000 majority for Donnelly, Democrat and Greenback. Returns from throughout the Third district indicate that Donnelly is running ahead of the ticket, which the Republicans claim will be compensated by Washburn's majority in Minneapolis, l'n the Second district, Strait, Republican, runs about even with the State ticket, and is probably elected. In the First, Dunell, Republican, is elected without doubt. No figures on the Republican majority in the State or Legislature. The latter is certainly Republican in both Houses, as the Greenback vote makes little showing. Minneapolis, Nov. 6. Eleven of fifteen precincts of the city give the following: Washburn, Republican forCongress, 3433; Donnelly, Democrat, 1037. The estimate at Republican headquarters, based on partial returns from the interior, cive Washburn a majority in the district of about 3500. Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 5. Full returns from the Third Congressional district, composed of the first nine wards of this city, give Kimmell. Democrat. 11.472: Thompson. Greenback and Independent, 4908. Kim- mell's majority 6564. Full returns from the Fourth Congressional district, com posed of the other wards of this citv, ex cepting the seventeenth, which is included in the Fifth district, give McLane, Democrat, 11,064; Holland, Republican, 6671; Quigley, Greenbaeker, 628; Gillings, Independent Democrat, 398. LcLane's majority over Holland 4393; over all, 3311. Sufficient returns have been received from counties on the Western shore, composing the First Congressional district, to insure the election of Henry, Democrat, by not less than 1500 majority. In the Second district Talbot's, Democrat, majority will be 4000. In the Fifth district Henkle's, Democrat, majority is estimated at Democratic headquarters at 1500. At this hour, midnight, no returns have been received from the lower counties, Charles, St. Murvs and Calvert, in this district. In thftftWM, district. Frederick county is re ported as having given over 1200 majority for Urner, Republican, which insures his election in the district, making the dele gation stand live Democrats and one Ke-publican. New Jersey. Trenton, Nov. 5. Probabilities are that the Republicans elect five of the seven Congressmen, and a majority of the As sembly. Congressmen certainly elected are Robinson, Republican; Pugh, Repub lican; Vorhees, Republican; UJakc, Ue-pulilieun; Brigham, Republican; Alvah Clark, Democrat, and probably Ross, Democrat. A Democratic Joss ol two. Trenton, Nov. 6. New Jersey has turned a complete political somersault. Her present Congressional delegation stands four Democrats to three Republi cans. 1'iveotthe seven members elected to-day are Republicans, with one district in doubt. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Robeson, Republican, has about 2500 majority. Kepubiicans elect seven ot the eight (senators, and thus secure control of the Senate. Republicans make gains in tho Assembly. The last House stood 33 Demo crats, 23 Republicans. The new House stands 32 Republicans, 28 Democrats. Jersey City, Nov. 6. Hudson county elects a Republican Congressman nnd Sheriif, and five of eight Assemblymen. This is a complete change from previous elections. South Carolina. Charleston, Nov. 5. Returns from all portions of tiie State show heavy Democratic gains. Governor Hampton and the present State officers arc re-elected without opposition. Aiken and Evins, Democrats, are elected without opposition to Congress from the Third and Fourth districts. Tilt-man, Democrat, is claimed to have beaten Smalls, colored Republican, by nearly 8000 majority. In the First district indications are that Richardson, Democrat, is elected over Rainey, colored Republican, by a small majority. In the Second or Charleston district the vote has been very heavy and close, with chances so far favoring the election of O'Connor, Democrat, over Mackcy, Republican. In Charleston city the Democratic majority is estimated from 4000 to 5000; but Republican strongholds the Sea Island precincts cannot be heard from until to-morrow. The election was quiet and orderly throughout the State no disturbance of any kiud having occurred anvwhere. Iowa. Chicago, Nov. C. A dispatch from Davenport says the second election for member of Congress, made necessary by the dispute as to the locality of the Octo ber election, was regularly conducted in every precinct in this county to-day, and generally throughoutthe Second Congressional district. All forms of the law were carefully observed in this city and township. Hiram Price, Republican nominee, elected in October, received 1206 votes, to 120 opposition. The Democrats abandoned organized effort, and boiiic of their number voted for Price. The Gazette will publish to-morrow returns from pther townships in the county, indicating the total number of the majority for Price, of at least 2000 in the county. Specials to the Gazette from Muscatine, Jones and other counties, render certain a majority of 4000 or 5000 for Price in the. district. Connecticut. Hartford, Nor. 5. Eighty-sewn towns give Hubbard, Democrat, U2,y87 ; Andrewss, Kepublicnn, 23,119; Atwutcr 3,420; Prohibition 41)8. In 1 87ti tiie same townsgtive Hubbard 28.2U3, Robinson 20,985. General Ilawley, Republican, is elected to Congress by a plurality of 1500. He probably carries Hartford City by 550 maioritv. a gain of 1150 from the vote of 1870. Wait, Republican, is elected in the Third district. There is no election of Governor by the people. The Legislature is proba-biv Republican. Returns from 148 towns give Andrews 45,355, Hubbard 43,101, Atwttter 70DU, Baldwin 1055. The Republicans elect Hawley, Wait and Miles to Congress. Republicans will have the Legislature by 35 inajoritfy, and as there is no election by the people, the Republican ticket will be electee; uy tne Legislature. Korlll Carolina. Wilmington. Nov. 5. Complete, re turns of this city give Waddell, Democrat, tor congress, luui; tusseii, ureeuuactc, 10l!4. There is a falling oil' of about 25 per cent, in the Democratic vote, and 20 per cent, in me uepuoncan vote, un the basis of this reduced vote throughout the district, Waddell's majority will be about 500. Raleigh, Nov. 5. Davie, Democrat, carries the Fourth District by 1800 majority, estimated. The Second district is close, chances for Kitchen, Democrat, In the Third district, Waddell's, Democrat, majority is estimated at 500. In the Fif teenth, Scales, Democrat, wins; majority 2000. In the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Democrats are ceriainiy elected; no opposition, Rhode Island. Providence, Nov. 5. Latimer W. Bal- lou, Republican, is re-elected Representative to Congress from the Second district, uy about iw majority over uarnauy, Democrat, and Smith. Greenback. Nelson W, Aldrich, Republican, is elected in the First district, by about 3800 majority over Davis, Democrat, and Sayles, Greenback. The Journal has returns from the entire State, except Block Island. In the First district Nelson W. Aldrich, Republican, has 5910; Davis, Democrat, 1324; Sayles, Greenback, 606; scattering 104. Aldrich's majority 3875. In the Second district Latimer W. Bullou, Republican, has 6569; Bamaby, Democrat, 4535; Smith, Greenback, 311; scattering none. Bullou's mu jority 708. Texas. Galveston, Nov. 5. The News's spe cial says the election throughout the State is very quiet, a good vote polled. Returns, owing to much scratching, arrive very slowly; not sufficient to base calculations.New Orleans, Nov. 5. Galveston re turns are meagre but indicate the election of the Democratic State ticket by about the usual majority. Not more than a two-thirds vote polled, and no disturbances reported from any quarters. Reagan, Mills, Culbertson and Willboru, Democrats, no doubt elected to uongress. JNo returns from Sebliecher's or Hancock's districts. Alabama. Columbus, Ga., Nov. 5. In the Third Alabama district Samford, Democrat, is elected without serious opposition, Forney, Democrat, is re-elected in the Seventh district of Alabama. Chattanooga, Nov. 5. Lowe, in dependent, beats Garth, Democrat, in the Hiignth Alabama district, 1000 majority. Montgomery, Nov. 5. The indications are that all the Democratic nominees are elected except possibly in the Eighth district, where the contest is very close between Garth, Democratic nominee, and Lowe, Independent. Florida. Savannah, Nov. 5. Specials from Florida indicate the election of Hull and Davidson, Democrats, to Congress. Jacksonville, Nov. 5. Juval county. the largest in the district, gives a large majority lor liisbee, Republican, lor Congress, but it is believed Hull, Democrat, will be elected. In Madison county at sundown, wnen tne pons snonid nave closed, four hundred people had not voted, and voting was still going on at last accounts. This may complicate matters by an appeal to the courts. From other dis tricts only a lew returns, but no doubt ot the election of Davidson, Democrat. Arkansas. Little Rock, Nov. 5. To-day has been one of the most quiet elections ever experienced in the State; very little interest manifested. There is a falling off in the vote of this city of nearly 1000 since last election. In this city Rice, Greenback, has 507 majority. This eouuty, Pulaski, will go for Rice by over 1000 majority. A general apathy prevails throughout the State. The general impression prevails that Cravens, Democrat, is elected iu this, the Third district, but by a greatly reduced majority. The Democrats are confident of the election of Democratic candidates in the other districts. Vermont. St. Albans, Nov. 5. The special Con-' grcBsional election in the Third district, ordered by the Governor, there being no election in September, took place to-day. Returns from forty-eight towns give Bradley Barlow, bolting Republican and Greenback, 7141, W. W. Grout, regular Republican, 3161 ; G. L. Waterman, Democrat, 806. Barlow's majority, 3174; plurality over Grout, 3980; gain over Grout since September, 133S. Twenty-eight towns to hear from, but Barlow's victory is assured. Nebraska. Lincoln, Nov. 6. -Returns come in slowly; light vote cast in the State. Taking the precincts and counties heard from as a basis, indications are that the Republi can State and Congressional tickets are elected by 8000 to 10,000 majority. Lancaster county gives at least 600 Republican inority an increase ol 200 over last year. Tickets are badly scratched. Nevada. San Francisco, Nov. 5. Dispatches from Virginia City say the Democratic Legislative ticket is ahead in the State. There has been much scratching done. The Democrats charge extensive use of money on the part of the Kepubiicans. Delaware. Wilmington, Nov. 5. John W, Hall. Democrat, luis been elected Governor, and Edward L. Martin, Democrat, elected to Congress. The Republicans ran no candidate for either of the above offices, the only opposition being Greenbackers. Mississippi. Vicksburg, Nov. 5. The election in this city is devoid of excitement. Almost a solid vote for Chalmers for Congress as lar as received. Returns indicate the success of the Democrats throughout the State. Kansas. St. Louis. Nov. 5. Meaner and scatter ing returns from Kansas show a Republi can majority onnnc estate ticicet. WASHINGTON. QUESTIONS DISCUSSED IN CABINET, Washington, Nov. 5. At a Cabinet session to-day some business was transact ed, and there was general conversation regarding the points to be brought to the attention ot congress in tne rresiaem s message. It was unanimously agreed that the message should contain some recommendation for the enactment of legislation either to increase the weight nf tlip ntnndarrl silver dollar nr tn diminish its coinage, or to adopt both these means, preventing a further depre ciation ol its value. Ihe subject will again bo considered at a future meeting. PREPARING FOR RESUMPTION. It is very likely that in connection with the resumption of specie payments the Treasury Department Circular, No. 93 will be issued. This order, which was rescinded, directed, in effect, the free exchange of silver for greenbacks. Under it any one depositing $1,000 in greenbacks,or any upward multiple thereof, in any of the one hundred and twenty depositing hanks, should receive in return free of transportation the equivalent of his deposits in silver. The fulfillment of this order, would have, it is generally thought, been practical resumption. RECEPTION FOR CONDON. The committee of Irish citizens have completed preparations for the reception of Captain Condon to-morrow evening, and promise that it will be a brilliant affair. A circular is to be issued calling for subscriptions to a fund to be known as the "Condon testimonial." BIG FIGURED GREENBACKS. Another feature connected with resumption will be the appearance of the new $5,000 and $10,000 greenback notes, the first ever issued. The plates for printing Lthem are being perfected, ami the notes win ue rcmiy lur circuitiuun on ine liaie fixed for resumption. These notea are intended todo double duty for convenience in "handling large quantities of greenback currency, and to take the place of coin certificates. FOREIGN. Wheat Market by Murk I.nne ExpriHW. London, Nov. 5. The Mark Lane Express says: Active progress has been made with sowing, ana in some early dis- 1 tricts wheat is beginning to show. These, . however, are exceptions, as it will probably be another fortnight before the bulk . of wheat will have been sown. English wheat has been marketed more sparingly, both in London and' the provinces. A healthy tone has predominated, although-to the present time without any effect on ,i prices.: Some samples Bhown hare been better, but the large proportion' of offerings consisted of damp, discolored, or sprouted lots, which naturally were only Balable , at ruinous prices. Indeed, farmers' deliveries throughout the kingdom have fully testified to the fact that the English wheat crop has suffered enormously from the deterioration consequent on the damp condition in which it was (fath ered. The imports of foreign wheat into London were fair. Except for the action of Americans we Bhould probably have been realizing better prices. Shipments have, been so large, and the movement to tidewater so active, that neither the light, badly conditioned home crop nor the good continental demund have been able to combat the depression. Results of the French Elections. Paris, Nov. 5. Official information from departments in which elections were had on the 27th of October for Communal Deputies for the nomination of fresh Senators, oonfirm the previous reports of the result of these elections. These Deputies, together with other Senatorial electors, are to meet the 5th of January in the chief town of each department for the ' purpose of nominating fresh Seuators. The Republicans will carry forty-six of. the seventy-five Senatorships to be filled, being a gain of twenty-eight. Russia Opposing: Insurgent Moves. St. Petersburg, Nov. 5. It is officially denied that Eussian officials are participating in or encouraging the Bulgarian insurrection. General Todlebeu has issued fresh orders to Russian commanders on the East Rounielian frontier to prevent the organization of insurgent bands, and to watch the movements of in-, surgent committees. ' A Russian Royal Yacht Swamped. St. Petersburg, Nov. 5. The imperial yacht Levadia left Levadia on the 2d inBtant for Odessa, with the Grand Duke Sergius, son of the Czar, and suite. The yacht was swamped during the heavy gale, but all on board were safely landed. The yacht waB afterward thrown on the rocks, and will probably go to pieces. ' . Vatican and Russia Can't Agree. Rome, Nov. 5. Negotiations between the Vatican and Russia have been suspended, as the attitude of Russia affords no hope of a satisfactory result. The rope will probably issue ins protest snortiy against the violence which the Catholics of Poland endure from the RtiBsian authorities. The Vatican's Endeavors. Rome, Nov. 5. The Vatican, apprehending Russian preponderance in the East, is endeavoring to bring back the Armenian Separatists to allegiance to Rome. How they Do Tlicso Things in France. Paris, Nov. 5. Balthagar Jocolin, Re publican, and three years Senator, ac cused of cheating at cards, has resigned on the demand ot the Minister of Justice. More English mills Ntopping. London, Nov. 5. In the mills at Wigau 1,070 looms and 94,000 spindles are stopped, and 2,500 looms and 310,000 spindles are running on short time. The Ameer's Subjects Rebel. London, Nov. 5. It. is stated the inhabitants of JCohistan have rebelled and murdered the Oovernor. The Ameer has sent a large force to restore order, Landing of Russian Troops. London, Nov. 5. A Constantinople dispatch says 5,000 Russian troops .Iuud, at Bourgai weekly. , Bulgarians Arrested. Constantinople, Nov. 5.-The Russians have arrested five hundred Bulgarians about to enter Macedonia. last Fenian Prisoner Released. London, Nov. 5. Thomas Ahearrt, the last of the English Fenian prisoners, haB been released. f , ,t- Fire Record. St. Louis, Nov. 5. A Leavenworth, Kansas, dispatch says one of the large Government stables at Fort Leavenworth burned Sunday noon. No cause has yet been assigned for the fire. .The stable contained fifty-three mules; forty were reRcned, the remainder consumed. It is thought the loss will not fall short of $8000. . New Haven, Conn., Nov. 5. In a bale of jute buttB, thrown into the cutter in the paper mills of Wilkinson Brothers & Co., in Birmingham, late yesterday afternoon, was a piece of iron which came in contact with the knives and ignited the jute The fire spread rapidly, and in a very short time all the buildings were destroyed; also Morgan Cur-tis's house and apartof a sawmill. Losa $300,000; insurance $124,000. One hundred persons are thrown out of employment, i Pottsville, Nov. 6. Hickory Ridgb colliery, near Shamokin, litis burned, throwing about two hunred men and boys out of employment. St. Louis, Nov. 5. A dispatch from Kansas Bays the great three-story stone barn of John Taylor, in Dickinson county, some miles from Abelene, burned one night last week. The barn was filled with grain, agricultural implements, lumber wagons, and twenty-five head of . fine horses, all of which were destroyed. Loss 25,000 ; no insurance. Mr. Taylor, the owner, was formerly of the firm of John Taylor & Co., of Cincinnati, but for several years has been a very extensive farmer. A Compromise with Creditors. New York, Nov. 5. The creditors of the estate of Woodman & Co., blank book manufacturers, have accepted a composition of thirty cents on the dollar, extending over two' years. The liabilities of the firm were $207,000. Mr. Henry Murphy, of the City Survey Department, Philadelphia, has laid before the Franklin Institute a simple method of reproducing drawings. He first covers the paper with a solution of red prussiatc of potash and cttrate of iron and ammonia in water, when the tracing is placed on a smooth glass surface. Upon this is laid the prepared paper, and both are backed by a padded frame. The frame is reversed, the glass surface coming uppermost, when the action of the sun in five minutes reproduces the drawings on the sensitive paper. The tracing iB then steeped in water for a few minutes, when it is ready fur UBe. It puzzles a man beyond all expression to bend over a trade dollar and gaze into the dissembling face, and wonder and wonder and wonder whore that missing ten cents got out and where it has gone.

Returns from nearly nil the StateB which held elections yesterday are presented on this page, classified so as to be convenient to the reader. Among the salient points are the election of the Republican State ticket in New York by a majority of 15,000 or upward, with a gain of six Congressmen ; the Republican majority of about 15,000 In Pennsylvania; the signal defeat of Ben Butler in Massachusetts; the Republican victories in New Hampshire and Connecticut; the somersault in New Jersey; Republican gains in Congressmen in Illinois and Maryland; the apparent solidity of the South for the Democrats, cutting off several Republican Congressmen; the probable Republican loss in Missouri, etc. The returns on Congressmen are full enough to justify an attempt at tabulation, though a number of corrections will have to be made in the future. In the table below doubtful points are generally conceded to the Democrats, and they are generally giveu the benefit of counting successful Greenbackers. Under the head of the 46th Congress, the figures for Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Nevada are not taken from the returns, which are not full enough to base figures upon; but it is assumed, merely for the purpose of completing the compilation, that they have gone as they did two years ago. The com plete returns will undoubtedly 'make a better Republican showing. California does not elect till next September. Vermont yesterday elected one member (a greenback Republican), there having been no election at the first effort. Following is the table : XLVth XLVIth states. Kg-Compress. Conobess, I Rep.

An idle team may be wintered upon good hay alone; when working lightly a feed of grain at noon will be sufficient, with hay morning and night. With heavy work, ten quarts of ground corn and oata, and chaffed straw or cornfodder, will be good feeding, and in many cases, for small horBea, less will do". Good grooming is necessary for health in winter. Ground gypsum spread upon the floors will prevent the pungent odor common to stables. This vapor of ammonia is hurtful to horses' eyes, "and the frequent cuuse of ophthalmia, and resulting in blindness, witii which so manv horses are troubled. Throw a few pailsful of water upon the floor first, and then scatter around a shovelful of the gypsum. Fresh air should enter the stables at the bottom and the foul air escape at the top. Make small sliding doors for ventilation, and cover them with wire netting or laths, to exclude vermin, Agriculliirvit. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATU JOURNAL. THE ELECTIONS.

Last Assembly stood: Republicans 65, Democrats 60, Independent 1, Greenback-Workingmen 1. Judge of the Court of Appeals Bradley, Democrat, 87,670; Danforth, Republican, 51,706.

Norcross, Republican, has 5000 majority; Robinson, Republican, has 3000 majority. Fuller returns show the House of Representatives 173 Republicans, 37 Democrats, 24 Butler and 5 not reported. Total vote tor governor: Talbot, uuuer iuo,- 066; Abbott 9490; Miner, 1816. The re maining towns to be heard from will in crease Talbot's majority over Butler to an excess of 25,000. Albany, Nov. 6. Democrats, on a basis of 1876 vote, estimate Bradley's election by plurality. They concede the Assembly to the Republicans by a good working majority, and a majority of the Congressional delegation to the same party. The irioune says returns on tne etaie ticket are comparatively incomplete, but' one hundred and thirty-seven towns have been heard from, which last year gave a Republican majority of 5564, and this year increase it to 11,648. A similar gain throughout the State would elect Mr. Danforth by from 15,000 to 20,000. The World says: Returns from the State on Court of Appeals Judge come in very slowly. More attention appears to have been given to local candidates than the State ticket. The figures received, however, indicate that George B. Bradley, Democrat, is elected Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, by from 5000 to 10,-000 majority. MnssacliusettH. Bobton, Nov. 5. The Journal says the Republican State Central Committee have received returns which indicate that Butler is defeated by at least 40,000, and says the re-election ot B. W. Harris in the second district by a large majority is assured. The following is the vote of some of the principal cities: Lowell Talbot, 3773; Butler, 4230. Lynn Talbot, 2233; Butler, 3371. Chelsea Talbot, 1895; Butler, 1219. Taunton Talbot, 1934; Butler, 1423. New Bedford Talbot, 2191; Butler, 1349. Lawrence Talbot, 1950; Butler, 2634. Worcester Talbot, 4352; Butler, 3785. Selwyn Z. Bowman, Republican, is elected in the Fifth Congressional district (Banks's old district) by probably 2000 majority over Nathan Clark (Butler Green-backer),Butler has no doubt carried the city by a large plurality. The election of Leopold Morse to congress irom tnerourtn uis-trict is now conceded. Talbot's election by a plurality of 20,000 is now conceded. W. A. Field, Republican, is said to be elected to Congress from the Third district by 300 majority. The vote of Boston in detail is as follows: Talbot, 20,762; Butler, 25,214; Abbott, 1003;-Miner, 148; Butler's majority, 4452. Claflin, Republican, is probably re-elected to Congress from the Eighth district. W. W. Crapo, Republican, is probably re-elected to Congress from the First district. B. W. Harris, Republican, is re-elected to Congress from the Second district by a large majority. A Worcester special says W. W. Rice, Republican, carries the Ninth Congressional district by probably 3000 majority.Two hundred and eight towns in Massachusetts, including all the cities, give Talbot 16,949 majority over Butler. At 9 p. m. Talbot's election by 30,000 plurality is conceded by Butler's friends. All Republican Representatives to Congress from the eleven, districts, with the exception ol tho Fourth, where Briiieuita-is defeated by Morse, Democrat, are undoubtedly elected as far as present returns indicate. The vote of 223 towns give Talbot's majority over Butler 19,481. The following is the footing of Congressional districts of the State so far as received: First district, all but eleven towns Talbot, 10,488; Butler, 0903; Abbott, 7388; Miner, 215. Congressman Crapi, Republican, 10,745; Ellis, Democrat, 0758; French, Prohibition, 146. Second district, all but two towns Talbot, 13,982; Butler, 9108; Abbott, 864; Miner, 729.

All Republican candidates for State offices are elected. Illinois. Chicago, Nov. 5. Five distinct tickets are in the field in this city, and ballots are consequently badly scratched and coming in very slowly. The Republican, Democratic, Greenback, National Socialist and Prohibition parties have each nominated tickets. Up to 9:30 but five precincts out of one hundred and twelve have been heard from, and these indicate nothing. From Fort's, Henderson's and Springer's dis tricts it would seem that those gentlemen are re-elected. Returns received here from forty-nine towns and precincts in Illinois, show the follewing vote on Stute Treasurer: Gen. J. C. Smith, Republican, 6223; E. N. Cronkrite, Democrat, 3571; E. N. Bates, Greenbaeker, 1212. The vote on Congressmen will vary but a trifle from these figures. In this city returns from nine precincts give Hoftuian, Republican, for Sheriff, 1013; Kern, Democrat, for Sheriff, 935; Gen. Mann, for Coroner, runs far ahead of his ticket. 11 P. M. At this hour indications are that the Republicans have carried the entire county ticket and elected their three Congressmen in the city a gain of one Congressman. Returns generally show Republican gains. In eighteen precincts Kern, for Sheriff, has 1811, and Hoffman 2217. In the First Congressional district, threeprecincts give Aldrich, Republican, 331; Doolittle, Democrat, 96. In the Second district, nine precincts give Davis, Republican, 1468; Kahoe, Democrat, 1067. In the Third district, five precincts give Barber, Republican, 749; Free, Democrat, 545. Returns from one hundred und ten towns and precincts in Illinois give the following totals: For State Treasurer Smith, Republican, 15,986; Cronkrite, Democrat, 8329; Bates, Greenbaeker, 3459. The Congressional vote continues in about the same proportion. Midnight Returns from Congressional districts in this State, although incomplete, seem to show the Republicans have gained two Representatives, namely Davis, in the Second district, and Thomas in the Eighteenth. If these figures hold good, the Congressional delegation from Illinois in the next Congress will stand Republicans 13, Democrats 6. Thomas and Davis replace Hartzel and Harrison, present members. Latest One hundred and eighty towns in the State give Smith 23,958; Conkrite, 13,238; Bates, 5037. No indications yet as to the Legislature except that it will be very close, with probabilities of a few Republican gains. Chicago, Nov. 6. 1 a. m. At this hour returns show the following for Congress: First diBtrict Aldrich, Republican, 2000; Doolittle, Democrat, ; J441. Second district Davis, Republican, 5568; Kehoe, Democrat, 2678. Third district-Barber, Republican, 1701; Free, Democrat, 1290. The Greenback, Socialist and Prohibition tickets had a very meagre following. The vote from 55 out of 112 precincts in the county shows Hoffman, 7646; Kerr, 6657. 1:30 A. M. Two hundred and sixty-seven towns and precincts in Illinois give Smith 35,566, Cronkrite 20,989, Bates 8594. Michigan. Detroit, Nov. 6.

At the Mayor's office it is estimated the Republican ma jority in Philadelphia for the State ticket will be about 12,000. Kelley has been badly cut in the Fourth district. No doubts are entertained of Randall's election In the Third district. Wilkesbarke, Nov. 5. In the Twelfth district Hendrick B.Wright is undoubtedly re-elected to Congress. Reading, Nov. 5. In the Eighth district Heister Clymer, Democrat, isre-elected by over 5000 majority.

Harmer, Republican, is elected by a majority of 4542. In the Tenth Congressional district R. K, Baehmann, Democrat, is elected. In the Seventh district William Godsehalk, Republican, is elected by about 1000 majority. I'lTTSBURG, jnov. o. The election in the western part of the State to-day was conducted very quietly, and a full vote polled by all parties. Scattering reports show extensive Republican gains. The Greenback vote iu this vicinity falls far short of expectation a vigorous canvass of five months among the workingmen of this city having failed to elect their Congressmen. Partial returns from 16 Western counties give a Republican majority of 6858 on the State ticket. The Republicans re-elect Errett in the Twenty-second and Bayne in the Twenty-third Gongressional districts, and claim Allegheny county for the State ticket by 7000 majority. Sallen- berger, Republican, is elected to Congress in the Twenty-fifth and Osmer, Republican, in the Twenty-seventh district. Pottsville, Nov. 6. Jno. W. Ryon, Democrat, is elected probably in the Thir teenth district. Vii-tfhilu. Richmond, Nov. 5. Election quiet, vote small, In this city only about 3000 polled out of a registered vote of over 13,- 000. The smallness of the vote is due mainly to the fact that a payment of cap itation tax was required betoro votum. General Joseph E, Johnston carried the city by over 2000 majority. Returns from a number of precincts of this district indicate Johnston's election beyond doubt. ALEXANDRIA, .Nov.- Election Here very quiet; no interest manifested, and the vote not half out. Hunton, for Con gress, had no organized opposition; bis majority here is 6iV. Garter, Greenbaeker, received but 214 votes, and Cochran, Republican, but 3. Hunton's election is sure. Norfolk, Nov. 5. Election quiet, vote small. Indications of Goode's re-election to Congress by 1000 majority. Richmond, Nov.5. further returns from the counties of this district indicate Johnston's majority to be 1600 to 1800. Meagre returns from the First district indicate the election of R. L. T. Bale, Conservative, over Critchcr, Independent. In the Second district the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth and Norfolk county give Desendorf, Republican, about 150 majority over Goode, Conservative, but returns from other points indicate Goodo's election by a fair majority. Returns from the Fourth district are also too meagre to base calculations. The contest is between Jorgensen, Republican, nnd E. W. Hinton, with chances in favor of Jorgensen. The Fifth district re-elects George C. Cabell, Conservative. In tho Sixth district J. Randolph Tucker is elected. It is an exciting contest in the Seventh district between John T. Harris and John Paul, forcible re-adjuster of the State debt. Returns from over half the district favor Harris's election. General Eppa Hunton is elected in tho Eighth district without opposition. Nothing definite from the Ninth district, where there are four candidates. Petersburg, Nov. 5, Returns from the Fourth district indicate the re-election of Jorgensen, Republican, to Congress. Richmond, Nov. 5. Only a few returns from the Ninth district, but those received indicate aclosc contest between Richmond, Conservative, nnd McMillen, Independent Conservative. Three hundred towns and precincts heard from. Crosswell, 39,342; Barnes, 23,-894 ; Smith, 24,729. Tennesnec. Nashville, Nov. 5. The election here was unusually quiet, and but little apparent interest. Indications arc that the vote will be the lightest polled in the State for years. Chattanooga, Nov. G. Returns indicate the election of Pittebone, Republican, in tiic First, and Dibrell, Democrat, in the Third district of Tennessee. Very close in the Second district. Houk, Republican, ahead. The latest returns from the First district of Tennessee indicate the election of lay- lor, Democrat, over Pettibone, Republican, by 1500 majority; Watkins, Independent, of the Second district, is pushing Bouk, Republican, closely. Nashville, Nov. 6. The election was quiet all over the State, and the vote un-precedentedly light. The entire.Dcmocratic ticket of this county is elected. The Greenbackers received the majority of the colored votes in the county. House, Bright, Dibrell and others are re-elected to Congress. In the Ninth Congressional district Lemonton, Democrat, is elected. Hauck, Republican, is elected in the Second district, and in the First district the Republicans concede the election of R. L. Taylor, Democrat, over Pettibone, Republican. In the Fourth district, McMillan, Democrat, is probably elected over Galli-day, Independent. In the Seventh district the vote is close between Whitthorne and Moore, both Democrats. The returns in dicate the re-election of Whitthorne. The Legislature is very largely Democratic. Murks, Democratic nominee tor uovernor, has a majority over both the Greenback ,nd Republican candidates. KNOXVILLE, JN OV. O. JUlUnigllt te- turns Bhow Taylor, Democrat, in the First district, elected over Pettibone, Republican; Houk, Republican, over Watkins, Independent, in the Second district. WiNconaiu. Milwaukee, Nov. 511 p. m. Milwaukee city and county, with one town ship to be heard from, give Frisby, Republican, in the Fourth district for Congress, 1200 majority over Denster, Democrat; Republican gain of 3500 over the vote of 1876. Republicans elect the whole county ticket, with the possible exception of coroner. Returns trom the interior come in slowly; gains and losses about equally divided. 12 m. The Fourth Congressional district, twenty-one towns and the city of Milwaukee, Republican gain of 3070. Frisby, Republican, majority in Milwaukee county 1600. He is probably elected. In the Fifth district forty-one towns show a Republican gain of U10. In the First district forty-eight towns show a Democratic gain of 243. Second district, thirty-six towns show Republican gain of 1164. Third district, fifteen towns, Democratic pain of 475. Sixth district, thirty-one towns, Democratic sain of 1176. Seventh flisli-ift. th ty-tive towns, Democratic gain Democratic gain of 70. This comparison is made with the Presidential vote of 1870. 12:45 A. M. Returns received up to this hour indicate the following result on Congressmen: First district, Williams, Republican, re-elected by slightly decreased majority; uistriei, uassweu, nepuoii-ean, re-elected by increased majority; 3d and 4th districts in doubt; 5th district, Bragg, Democrat, re-elected by diminished majority: 6th district, Bouck, Democrat, re-elected by increased mujority; 7th district, Humphrey, Republican, re-elected; 8th district, Pound, Republican, re-elected by increased majority. The Republicans gain 12 Assemblymen and two Senators, and will have a good majority on joint ballot, Milwaukee county elects the entire Republican ticket for the first time. LoulNinnn. New Orleans, Nov. 5. The election in the city and throughout the State, as far as heard from, passed otf quietly. The majority of A. E. Burke, for State Treasurer, in New Orleans is estimated at 18,000. His majority in the State, it iB believed, will exceed 30,000. Returns, as far as received, in iW cute the - emotion o-f Congressmen as roliows; r irat oisinei, uiusuu, uemuurm: Second. Ellis, Democrat: Third. Acklin. Democrat; Fourth, Elam, Democrat; Sixth, Robertson, Democrat. The Democratic State Central Committee have reports that colored voters were supporting King and Young in the Fifth district to such an extent as to indicate strong probability of their election. The colored people appear o have voted in large numbers for Burke and Democratic Congressmen, and some enthusiastic Democrats to-night estimate Burke's majority in the State as high as 50,000. The amount of scratching on election for municipal officers renders it im possible to make a close estimate of the result nt this hour, 11 p. in., but the following is given as approximating: Democratic Conservatie ticket, 13,1)00; Citizens' Consevative, 10,000; Nationals, 5000; Tax payers, 1000. New Orleans, Nov. 5 Midnight The Nationals and Republicans claim the election of Hebert for Congress in the Third district over Acklen. The Democrats claim three-fourths of the Legislature. Specials to the Democrat from eleven parishes outside of New Orleans, show 12,000 Democratic gains. The Democrat claims the election of the entire Congressional delegation. TXexv Hninnwliire. Boston, Nov. C. New Hampshire specials from Republican sources state thut Head, the Republican candidate for Governor, is making handsome gains, with a decreased Greenback vote. A Concord, N. H., special says the Republican State Committee claim the Republicans have carried every Congressional district, and that the Republicans have a good majority in both branches of the Legislature. Concord, Nov. 5. From returns it appears Head is elected by the people, and it is probable Republican Congressmen are elected in the three districts. As far as returned the House stands 52 Republicans, 37 Democrats nnd three Greenbacks. Republicans claim they shall have at least 35 majority in the Houbc Returns from 150 towns indicate the election of Head for Governor by 1000 majority. As returned, the House stands 89 Republicrns, 60 Democrats and 6 Greenbackers. Republicans claim they have from 25 to 30 majority. Congressional districts have not been returned sulliciently full to give definite majorities, but it is probable the Republicans have carried three districts by strong pluralities, electing Hall in the First, Briggs in the Second and Farr in the Third. The Republicans have doubtless fourteen Senatorial districts, the Democrats eight and two doubtful. Georgia. Augusta, Nov. 5. The vote in the Eighth district is light. Alexander H. Stephens is re-elected to Congress without opposition. Returns from Congressional districts come in slowly. Followine is the prob able result in the State: First district, Nicholls; Second, Smith; Third, Cook; 1'ourth, Harris; Jjifth, Hammond; Sixth, Blount; Seventh, Felton; Eeighth, Stephens; Ninth, Billups. The official count may change this in the Seventh and Ninth districts. The vote in these districts will be close, and may result in the election of Lester,Democratic nominee in the Seventh, in place of Felton, Independent Democrat. Speer, Independent Democrat, will run Bellups very close in the Ninth. Columbus, Nov. 5. Returns indicate that Persons, Democrat, is elected In Con gress over Harris, present member, by 500 to 1000 majority. Both Democrats; Persons is inclined to the Greenbackers. Folton m the Seventh Georgia district, is running behind. Lester, Democrat, probably elected by a small majority. Macon, Nov. 5. Blount ia unanimously re-elected from the Sixth Congressional district no opposition. Vote light. The race in the lower end of the Fifth is very close, between Hammond, Democrat, and liarrold, Greenbaeker. Cook, Third district, and Smith, Second district, arc reelected. Missouri. St. Louis, Nov. 5. Partial returns of this city indicate something more than half of the Republican ticket elected. The contest in both the Second and Third Coneressional districts seems to be closer than was expected, and the result cannot be loreseen at the present writing. The result in the First district cannot be given to-pight, as several counties outside the city form a part of that district, and they cannot be heard from. There seems to be no doubt of the elec tion of Frost, Democrat, in the Third dis trict, over Metcalfe, Republican, present liiL-uiiiueiii. iu me oeconu uistriei, ooie, Republican, is so close to Wells, Democrat, that the Republicans are claiming his election. Returns from the Third district are very meagre, but there is no doubt of the election of Clardy, Democrat. If Wells carries the Second district, the Democrats will gain three Congressmen from this city. St. Louis, Nov. 6. There is no longer any doubt about the Second district, this city. Wells, Democrat, is elected by perhaps 1500. Likely Frost, Democrat, in the Third district, wifl get fully as much. The Greenbuek vote has not cut much of a figure in either district. The reault on the city ticket not yet determined. A St. Joseph dispatch says specials from d liferent counties of the Ninth district indicate that Ford, Greenbaeker, has overcome the former Democratic majority of the district, and that he is probably elected. Minnesota. St. Paul, Nov. 6. The election proceeded quietly, but with a full vote in the city, and much scratching on Congress men. Scattering returns received indicate the Greenback vote insignificant on the State ticket. Returns on Congressman in the Third district indicate Washburn, Re publican, largely ahead of the State ticket in Minneapolis; slightly behind in St. Paul and in out counties. If elected it is by a reduced majority from 1876. St. Paul, Nov. 5.--Ramsey county gives about 2,000 majority for Donnelly, Democrat and Greenback. Returns from throughout the Third district indicate that Donnelly is running ahead of the ticket, which the Republicans claim will be compensated by Washburn's majority in Minneapolis, l'n the Second district, Strait, Republican, runs about even with the State ticket, and is probably elected. In the First, Dunell, Republican, is elected without doubt. No figures on the Republican majority in the State or Legislature.

Under it any one depositing $1,000 in greenbacks,or any upward multiple thereof, in any of the one hundred and twenty depositing hanks, should receive in return free of transportation the equivalent of his deposits in silver. The fulfillment of this order, would have, it is generally thought, been practical resumption. RECEPTION FOR CONDON.

London, Nov. 5. The Mark Lane Express says: Active progress has been made with sowing, ana in some early dis- 1 tricts wheat is beginning to show. These, . however, are exceptions, as it will probably be another fortnight before the bulk . of wheat will have been sown. English wheat has been marketed more sparingly, both in London and' the provinces. A healthy tone has predominated, although-to the present time without any effect on ,i prices.: Some samples Bhown hare been better, but the large proportion' of offerings consisted of damp, discolored, or sprouted lots, which naturally were only Balable , at ruinous prices. Indeed, farmers' deliveries throughout the kingdom have fully testified to the fact that the English wheat crop has suffered enormously from the deterioration consequent on the damp condition in which it was (fath ered. The imports of foreign wheat into London were fair. Except for the action of Americans we Bhould probably have been realizing better prices. Shipments have, been so large, and the movement to tidewater so active, that neither the light, badly conditioned home crop nor the good continental demund have been able to combat the depression.

He first covers the paper with a solution of red prussiatc of potash and cttrate of iron and ammonia in water, when the tracing is placed on a smooth glass surface. Upon this is laid the prepared paper, and both are backed by a padded frame. The frame is reversed, the glass surface coming uppermost, when the action of the sun in five minutes reproduces the drawings on the sensitive paper. The tracing iB then steeped in water for a few minutes, when it is ready fur UBe. It puzzles a man beyond all expression to bend over a trade dollar and gaze into the dissembling face, and wonder and wonder and wonder whore that missing ten cents got out and where it has gone.
